Chapter 741 - 419: Plastering Mud on the Wall (Seeking Monthly Votes)
"I want to ask you a question, if I tore up the marriage contract with you, what would you do?"
Tear up the marriage contract?
This was not the prior arrangement, but a forceful rejection, the kind that was extremely humiliating.
"You..."
Mu Yunji's heart skipped a beat, subconsciously thinking that Bailuo was using this as a threat against her.
If it really came to that, Mu Yunji might indeed listen to Bailuo and acknowledge Yunhua and her family's identity.
But this was coercion, the husband asserting his authority, demanding the wife's meek and obedient compliance.
Perhaps Mu Yunji would agree this time, but for the Miracle Task, it could likely lead to irreparable fissures, forever obliterating the possibility of completion.
"That's not what I mean, it's just a question, merely a question."
Bailuo quickly explained, "I just want you to imagine for a moment, suppose this really happened, what would you do?"
"You don't have a say in this!"
After the initial panic, Mu Yunji regained her composure and said, "The marriage contract concerns both you and me. It's your prerogative not to endorse it, but I recognize this marriage contract."
"Look!"
Bailuo smiled and said, "Look at yourself, then look at your sister. If you were Yunhua, do you think you would be willing to give up your choices?"
"This..."
Mu Yunji was not incapable of thought, but she had been overly arrogant in the past, after all, it had only been in the recent decades that she met Uncle Yagen, who taught her how to be a person.
It must be said, Mu Yunji truly changed a lot; at least she could take in what Bailuo said without just contradicting and resisting blindly.
Bailuo counseled the two from different perspectives.
Starting from Fengdu, Bailuo told him that they can't just let Yunhua keep running away from home, as that is merely a temporary fix, not a cure. Is it only when the sisters die estranged from each other that it could be considered a good outcome?
Upon this, Fengdu took a step back, wanting Yunhua to reconcile with Mu Yunji, a true familial reunion.
On the other hand, Bailuo made Mu Yunji deeply consider her choice. How could she let others gossip and influence it?
If Yunhua did not love that man, then when Mu Yunji sent Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to capture him, Yunhua should have recognized the reality and sever ties with him.
Yet the result was that Yunhua still harbored deep thoughts for him.
She even made a decision that if he couldn't become a god, then she would become a mortal. She would rather suffer with him in the Lower Tier than live a lonely, lofty existence alone.
"Sigh."
As if feeling her sister's determination, Mu Yunji sighed deeply, her entire demeanor deflated considerably: "Then you tell me, what should we do?"
Regardless, Mu Yunji would not acknowledge it, but by now she also understood her sister's thoughts. Whether she approved or not, her sister acknowledged him.
Regarding men and marriage, the sisters actually shared the same attitude, which was to remain loyal until the end.
Even if Bailuo had nothing left, Mu Yunji would not leave.
"You sisters are alike, and what you truly despise is not the man himself, but his status," said Bailuo. "He, lacking talent, is not worthy of Fairy Yunhua."
"But I think, these words, might have been spoken too absolutely."
Bailuo identified the contradiction. As long as Fairy Yunhua's husband could be made stronger, wouldn't that solve the issue?
"How about I train him?"
Bailuo offered his idea. He had many miracles, close to 20 kinds.
With so many miracles, could they really not find one that suited him?
He may not be able to adapt to the Miracle Power, and there's a premise here: it was Mu Yunji's Miracle Power.
The Miracle World is boundless, and the population of the Lower Tier is incalculable.
Bailuo did not dare to say that among the miracles he now possessed, there was definitely one that suited him. But as long as Bailuo kept searching, just because it couldn't be done now didn't mean it couldn't be done in the future.
With the Book of Yagen in hand, was Bailuo afraid he couldn't solve a minor problem of a mortal?
"As for Yunhua."
After a moment's thought, Bailuo said, "Let's leave it to the Sword Emperor."
"What?"
Fengdu felt this was somewhat a setup, but Bailuo said, "Bro, you need to cool down and think about it carefully."
"If Fairy Yunhua's husband drank, gambled, visited prostitutes, and even sold his own children," Bailuo said, "what would you do?"
"I'd kill him!"
Fengdu, straightforward and naive, directly voiced his thoughts: "Such a person, does he even deserve to be Yunhua's husband?"
"It seems our thoughts align," Bailuo said. "It's indeed important that Fairy Yunhua likes him, but does liking someone always mean it's right, or reasonable?"
Just like the previous example, if a daughter falls for scum, is that love or has she been deceived!
"But, but he's not that kind of person."
Fengdu argued, having observed the other party all along, he was not the scum Bailuo described.
"As a man, having no opportunity, that's just bad fortune," Bailuo said. "But look around here, there, you guys, and me. So many Masters of Miracles right here, six, six of them!"
With six Masters of Miracles helping him out, if he still couldn't succeed, Bailuo felt that such a man might as well be dead.
He'd be a chosen child of destiny, with all kinds of cheats, and if he still failed, it was definitely his own doing.
"If he can't do it," Bailuo said, "then he's a hopeless case, not worth the effort. If he's a good person, oh Sword Emperor..."
"Hmm?"
"Then you'll have to accept it," Bailuo said. "Your sister just likes losers, and there's no reasoning with that."
Just like a wealthy young lady falls for a poor boy, when a billionaire asks her why, and she replies, 'I just want to live a hard-scrabble life with him, I like it plain.'
What more could Bailuo say then?
Humans are diverse creatures; you can't measure others by your own values and worldviews.
"Well..."
Upon careful consideration, Mu Yun Ji realized that was indeed the case.
If the opportunity was given to him, he cherished it and tried hard, yet in the end, still didn't make it.
Lacking talent, a helpless man, truly helpless, yet Fairy Yunhua still loved him regardless.
This would prove that Fairy Yunhua preferred someone ordinary.
Then when the time came, Mu Yun Ji would have to accept it, for that was her own sister, even if she went for a same-sex relationship, she was still her sister.
"Alright."
Mu Yun Ji nodded and said, "If it truly is as you say, I'll accept it, and personally give them my blessing when the time comes."
"Then, why can't you let them be together?"
"Date, what kind of dating, huh?"
Bailuo transformed into a head teacher: "Not focusing on studies, engaging in dating. Don't you know dating in high school is like raising a wife for someone else?"
"???"
Fengdu's eyes widened, feeling a bit dazed.
"Cough."
Bailuo said, "What I mean is, if they're already together, then what's the point of cultivating?"
The purpose of cultivation is to be with your wife, but if you're already together, then why continue to cultivate?
"I understand."
Fengdu said, "It's motivation, to push him to strive."
They were all men, and deep down, Fengdu was undoubtedly bitter, resenting the lack of ambition.
A man who couldn't even protect his woman, that's just too embarrassing.
'If he still can't hold his head high.'
At this moment, Bailuo and Fengdu's thoughts were strangely similar: 'Pfft, what a joke!'
What do you think?
